Hello, I'm new to this DK stuff. No, I'm not going to ask how to set it up or something, since I did.
I have a basic game with some mods like Minimap and Older News, but now I want to get it online. Is there a guide for this? I need a free host, by the way.

I use http://www.freehostia.com. They have a fairly high limit on the free accounts, and some tech support for you. For some reason their mysql servers are unresponsive a few times a day, for only a few minutes each time, but some find this annoying. But, they're free and easy to use.
As far as how to get it "online", just upload all the files, enter the sql server information in the config.php file (be aware that, if you use freehostia, you need to provide something other than "localhost".) Then hit http://(your game url)/install.php, and follow the steps provided.

So all I need to do is make an account of freehostia, then upload my files and edit config.php?
Sounds fair enough. May I contact you for any problems? Or should I post them here, rather?

Free hosts are not the correct solution to hosting DK or DS as they usually find a way to mess with the game in a way you may not like. If you want you can take up on my very cheap hosting plan...it only costs $15/a year and you get your own domain, 1gig of webspace, unlimited bandwidth, no ads, my service in helping to get content to upload and show. If you would like to do this lemme know and I will let you know how to accomplish this.

Yes. But I'm pretty low on money at the moment, so $15/a year is already too much for me. I recently moved to Europe.

Sorry for the double post;
Also, if you have to renew the hosting ecah year, do all my files disappear?
And at last, what do I need to edit in config.php?

You won't lose any files if you renew before your year is up.
This is approximately what your config.php should like:
<?php // config.php :: Low-level app/database variables.
$dbsettings = Array(
"server" => "localhost", // MySQL server name. (Default: localhost)
"user" => "", // MySQL username.
"pass" => "", // MySQL password.
"name" => "", // MySQL database name.
"prefix" => "dk", // Prefix for table names. (Default: dk)
"secretword" => ""); // Secret word used when hashing information for cookies.
?>
You need to insert, inside the quotation marks, the appropriate information.
"server" => "localhost", <--- Change "localhost" to your database server information. If you are using freehostia, you can get this information by going to the "MYSQL Database" section of your user panel. You should see something like this "mysql3.freehostia.com" somewhere. Freehostia runs on a cluster of servers, so the number 3 could really be any number.
If you are using Freehostia, or any other host for that matter, you then need to create your database. While in "MYSQL Database", just click the "Add SQL Database" button, and it will walk you through selecting a username and password.'
Enter the username and password in config.php.
Juse leave the prefix value as "DK". There is no reason for you to change it at your level of php/mysql experience.
The secretword value is for cookies. This is to check against cookie manipulation. Give this whatever value you want. It is like a password.

I got it all but the server name:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Unknown MySQL Server Host 'mysql0.freehostia.com' (1) in /home/www/cotales.freehostia.com/lib.php on line 55
Unknown MySQL Server Host 'mysql0' (1)

I'd rather have a free complex host than an easy paid host.
I'm already going to give out 7.75 euro's a year for the domain names. So no to the paid host.
Just help me out. >_>

Send me a copy and paste of your config.php, in a private message. Make sure to edit out passwords. It might be as simple as just a blank space or something.

I sent Whiz the data but I'll post it here for y'all.
<?php // config.php :: Low-level app/database variables.
$dbsettings = Array(
"server" => "mysql0.freehostia.com", // MySQL server name. (Default: localhost)
"user" => "[Private]", // MySQL username.
"pass" => "[As if I would tell you.]", // MySQL password.
"name" => "CoTales", // MySQL database name.
"prefix" => "dk", // Prefix for table names. (Default: dk)
"secretword" => "[I'm keeping this secret just for fun. :)]"); // Secret word used when hashing information for cookies.
?>
